Spohn SFC's
I'm going to order Spohn SFC's in the next day or two. I have a few questions. If I decide to get them coated for the extra 45 dollars is the black powercoated? It doesn't say. I have an LT1 with my 92 RS and in the future I'm going to install SLP 1 3/4" headers. Will these SFC's run me problems down the road? What has been your experience with getting SFC's coated from Spohn?

If you are going to go with new headers and exhaust, it would be my opinion to wait on SFC's. The powder coating is worthwhile, even if you grind small areas for the welds. I have both the SLP 1 3/4 headers and the Spohn SFC's (red powder coating). One installation problem with SFC's is the heat shield on the cat needs removed. But its your choice.

I said if you are going with new headers and exhaust, WAIT until that work is completed then install the SFC's. The case being installing the SFC's later will be easier.

...If you're pulling the exhaust anyway, install the SFCs while all that crap is out.

The guy i took in it had to cut up some part of the ypipe, and move around the exhaust to fit the Spohn Sub-Frames in. Wasnt a big deal, but in my case, i should of put the SFC in first then exhaust. And i should of not even coated it, cuz most of it had to be coming off to be welded. Doesnt matter cuz he black coated it for me after, so it worked out great.
